Press conferences show support for Maryland's open space

Maryland’s open spaces are what makes this state such a fantastic place to live and play. Our forests and farms provide valuable habitat, create clean water for our rivers and the Chesapeake Bay, and add to our quality of life. Unfortunately, we’re seeing a steady encroachment on our open spaces from development. Every year, more than 17,000 acres are developed in Maryland—an area larger than Manhattan.
The Healthy Air Act will require our dirtiest plants to modernize.
Environment Maryland is building support to protect places like the areas around Assateague Bay.
